If we jump back two years ago I made a prediction about little know Florence and her Machine. Perhaps my prediction wasn't as generous as it could have been. (Did we ever think Florence would be covered by the kids from GLEE?) But now as Florence begins work on the next stage of her already massive career we look for the latest forming star. This is where we turn to I am Harlequin. So fresh we don't even have a video to share (two are currently in the works), so we will have to base our prediction just on sound.
I am sure I am Harlequin's frontwoman Anne Freier is sick of the comparisons being made between her and Florence, but I am Harlequin is proving to be in a category of their own. Releasing a full length album last Fall, I am Harlequin is ripe and ready to be discovered.
The unfortunate bit is that when you close your eyes I am Harlequin sounds pretty much exactly like Florence and the Machine, but when you listen closely you can still hear the grit in I am Harlequin's voice, that edge that sets Anne and her collaborators apart.
Hot Tracks: Tons of Silence, The Liberty
Sounds Like: Florence and the Machine that hasn't been oiled and tuned in a few weeks.
PREDICTION
Big, big things! A top ten hit in the UK. Headlining a number of music festivals this summer, and heck a cover version of one of her songs on GLEE next year!
